Application filed-October 11, 1923. Serial No. 667,864.

- ties, having more particular reference to the type of necktie known as a four-in-hand tie, the invention having for an object the provision of an improved necktie of this type provided with improved means for joining together two separate portions that jointly constitute a tie.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

Fig. 1 of the drawing is'a face view show ing my improved tie.

Fig. 2 is an edge view thereof.

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary longitudinal sec tional view illustrating the means for securing together the two halves of the tie, this view being taken on the line 33 of Fig. 4.

Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 4.l of Fig. 3.

Referring now to the drawing the reference numerals 25 and 26 represent the respective portions of the tie that is divided midway between its end into a display portion, indicated at 25; and a second portion, indicated at 26, of relatively durable material, such as leather, canvas or the like. .These parts are secured together by the novel form of clip shown in Figs. 3 and 4 of the drawing.

This clip comprises a tubular element 30 of elongated rectangular cross section and having a pair of tongues 31 struck inwardly from the sides thereof. These tongues eX- tend longitudinally with'respeot to the tie and are preferably inclined toward one another from their roots to their tips, and have roughened surfaces adapted to grip the end of the tie portion 25 when the same is inserted between the tongues. The clip is inserted in the end of the permanent portion 26, and may be secured in place by stitching, a series of small apertures such as 32 being formed in the clip to receive the threads. A

v ment.

longitudinal slot 33 is formed in one edge wall of the clip adjacent the free ends, or

tips, of the tongues 31, and a flat key 34,

having a pointed end 35, may be inserted in sald slot and passed between the tongues 31, transversely of the latter, to force the said I tongues apart. when the display portion is to be inserted or removed.

Having thus described my invention what I. claim as new and desire to protect by Let ters Patent of the United States is as fol lows 1. A tie comprising a display portion, a

permanent end element of durable material, 3

a tubular member of rectangular cross section inserted in the end of the said permanent-element, said member having integral tongues on opposite sides extending longitudinally with respect to the tie and inclining inwardly toward one another from their roots to their tips, the end of the display portion being gripped between said tongues. I

2. A'tie comprising a display portion, a permanent'end element of durable material,

a tubular member of rectangular cross section inserted in the end of the said permanent element, said member having integral tongues on opposite sides extending longitudinally with respect to the tie and inclining inwardly toward one another from their rootsto their tips, the end of the display portion being between said tongues, said tongues having roughened adjacent surfaces.

3. A tie comprising a displayportion, a permanent end element of durable material, a tubular member of rectangular cross section inserted in the end of the said permanent element, said member having integral tongues on opposite sides extending longitudinally with respect to the tie and inclining inwardly toward one another from their roots to their tips, the end of the display portion being between said tongues, said tubular member being formed with an'aper- In testimony whereof I have aflixedmy signature.
